Thérèse B. brings us these noisy terror-dactyls.
Pelicans do look like pterodactyls, I have to admit they freak me out a little.
There are white ones on the reservoirs where I walk, at least in the summertime. I love seeing them, but of course I keep my distance!
These birds prove that birds are descended from dinosaurs. Found a fascinating story on the sisters who run the bird rescue. Seems the rescue is called Twinnies and they’re very close twins.

With all the babies being born at my local zoo, I might need to schedule a visit soon to see them up close. Beautiful cat with those markings, someone commented he also has an upside down heart on his nose.
Kimono doggos are too cute.
Thor deserves his title–what a beauty! Welcome, little giraffe who’s already taller than me.
Mike’s headline and description for the birbs made me guffaw.
I can totally see the pterodactyl in those pelican fluff-MONSTERS.
And what a gorgeous little giraffe, and kitty to steal the heart.
Thanks for the ear-worm, Mike!
